                    ACHIEVEMENTS OF SPEAKER JOHNSON

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, congratulations to Speaker 
  Mike Johnson for his achievements of the passage of critical 
legislation in the House and his leadership in maintaining the 
Republican majority.
  ``We flipped blue seats red . . . and we kept this majority,'' said 
the Speaker today on the Capitol steps with the proven leaders   Steve 
Scalise,   Tom Emmer, and Richard Hudson.
  The Speaker heard from the American people and has given them voice 
and change that Americans deserve.
  Families have suffered high prices for everyday items, dangerously 
open borders, and national security in jeopardy. Speaker Johnson has 
pledged: ``We are going to raise the America First banner over this 
place.''
  I was grateful in July to be with the Speaker in Milwaukee to lead 
the applause for his statement of being a Reaganite for peace through 
strength. In October at Lake Como, Italy, I was there as he represented 
America so well. Last month at Mar-a-Lago, I was grateful to be present 
as he confirmed the Trump-Johnson partnership.

  In conclusion, God bless our troops as the global war on terrorism 
continues. Open borders for dictators put all Americans at risk of more 
9/11 attacks imminent as warned by the FBI. Trump will reinstitute 
existing laws to protect American families.
